Na, maybe just social studies.

Changing gears here.......Marie retired as of 07-01-16, and she is on a one-woman mission to WEAR MY A-- OUT during her first month out of harness. GO GO GO TRAVEL TRAVEL TRAVEL. Difficult enough to go shooting in this heat without her gadabout craziness posing further complications and interruptions.

at least you ain't building sheds and cutting down trees, and building flower beds, and planting bushes, and building flower beds, and planting bushes, and building flower beds, and trimming more trees, and planting bushes, and cementing everything that ain't getting a bush or tree planted in it.
I still gotta finish painting the damn shed, after I go over to Littlegirls house and paint her kitchen.

Fiver,
You and I must have married sisters! My wife is a crafter and buys old wood furniture to restore/resell. My warning is when she says she "needs help" fixing something(which translate into some repair other than painting something). Small pieces she brings down to my shop and leaves them on my workbench, in a for sure to be in the way location, knowing I'll fix it to get it out of my shop. I know she has a large project repair when she comes down to the shop with a plate of food at noon( I normally don't eat lunch). Got to build a retainer wall last summer (that had 16 yards of crushed rock shoveled into them) to "accent" her flower beds!! I kinda liked the "natural look" of the cut bank and weeds. Gotta love em!!

Fiver--
The paint and build and trim sequence will commence before long. A new home is on the near horizon. Our kids have mostly moved away from easy commute range for indentured servitude of the sort you describe. I do get to reload their ammo on a brass exchange basis, though.

the first shed started out as a store-bought [build on site] shed to get all the stuff out of my casting and swaging area.
the second shed come about because the 4 wheelers were always in the front yard.
of course they have to match [each other and the house too]
so I had to search out trim pieces and shingles [at least I didn't have to put in a window] that matched the first shed.
of course two doors for the 4 wheelers means I have to match the door on the other shed.
still have to put trim around the doors, I ain't getting away with that over sight [it's only more money]
which means I have to un-hang them, trim them and re-hang them.
ain't gonna happen tomorrow.
I have to finish Littlegirls kitchen cabinet project, and trim out a couple of trees for her.
the Boy's are about in revolt and I haven't even started the bed for the raspberry's and blueberry's or the holes for the short fence along the back of the property where they are planted.
I need to go back to work.

I hear that, sir. "Retirement", mi nalgas--it is more a matter of "re-direction of labor", and this darn sure isn't a union shop.
